WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service awarded
approximately $10.25 million in matching grants to Low
Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) for the 2015 grant year
(Jan. 1, 2015, through Dec. 31, 2015).
LITCs are organizations that represent low income
taxpayers in federal tax disputes with the IRS for free or
for a nominal fee, organizations that provide tax
education and outreach to taxpayers who speak English
as a second language, or organizations that do both.
Through the LITC program, the IRS awards matching
grants of up to $100,000 per year to qualifying
organizations. The LITC program is a federal program
administered by the Taxpayer Advocate Service, led by
National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson. However,
LITCs, their employees and volunteers operate
independently of the federal government.
More information about LITCs and the work they do to
represent, educate and advocate on behalf of low income
taxpayers is available in IRS Publication 5066, LITC
Program Report. IRS Publication 4134, Low Income
Taxpayer Clinic List, provides information about LITCs by
